When
Phil Spector discovered The Crystals, not one was yet out of high
school. Their first recording, There's No Other (Like My
Baby) was also their first hit which catapulted them straight
to the "Apollo" theatre. They continued their successful recordings
with five more TOP TEN records: Uptown, He's A Rebel, He's Sure The Boy
I Love, Da Doo Ron Ron, and Then He Kissed Me. Two of the TOP
50 most popular records in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame belong to The
Crystals. The group has scaled from five members to three. The Crystals
now consist of Dee Dee Kenniebrew, who was there from the very first
recording, Patricia Pritchett-Lewis and MelSoulTree.

DOLORES "DEE DEE" KENNIEBREW

Dee Dee started singing
professionally at age 15 with The Crystals, honing her craft while
working and watching acts like "Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke, Dionne
Warwick, The Commodores," and many others. Dee Dee went to school with
Gregory Hines, Patty Duke, and Bernadette Peters among other stars .

While the original girls
left one by one in the sixties for various personal reasons and other
pursuits, she has carried on The Crystals all the way into the new
millennium. "I hung in for the fans that have stuck with me through the
years. Fans whom I promised that as long as they wanted to hear the
songs, I would not stop singing them". I appreciate them so much. We've
had over 40 years together now"! "I've managed to acquire a whole lot
of new fans during the 70's, 80's and 90's as well; and that .....I
just love!

PATRICIA PRITCHETT-LEWIS

Pat has been blessed with
one of the finest gifts of live showmanship seen in a long time. The
fact that she acts only enhances her ability. You might see her in an
episode of "Law and Order", “One Life To Live”, “As the World Turns” or

thanks God for her gifts, her husband, her family, her friends and fans
for their unwavering love and support.
